El Jefe Meats – Artisan Meats & Latin American BBQ

El Jefe started from a pure love for good food. What began as a hobby of making home-made sausages for family and friends slowly grew into something much bigger: El Jefe Meats Deli.

We still do things the way we always have. We cure our own bacon, smoke our own patties, and make every chorizo by hand — Uruguayan, Argentinian, Chilean styles and more, all 100% natural and gluten free. No fillers, just good ingredients, traditional techniques and plenty of passion.

.
“We are always honest and respectful to our clients and we respect our product, keeping a fair price while using only the best ingredients. Creating trust with our clients is extremely important. I am passionate about what we do and I love what I do.”

.

Nico (Owner) 

What started in a small kitchen, with food made to share at local markets, has grown into a cosy deli in Mount Maunganui, run by its friendly owners. From lunchtime burgers and house-made sausages to weekend BBQs, catering for celebrations and full-service events, El Jefe is all about one thing: making great food, from scratch, to bring people together.

One butchery, three experiences.

Grab lunch from the smoker, book us for your next event, or take the good stuff home raw.

Came across El Jefe at the markets and love them. The best quality meat and sausages I can find in New Zealand.

I was lucky enough to attend Nico’s salami making event, and had a fantastic time and learnt heaps!! You can tell Nico is passionate about what he does, and he’s so generous with sharing his knowledge. I’ve been back to try the Uruguayan sausages, the bacon, and they are super tasty and reasonably priced. Stoked to find quality meats in this area.
